[QUOTE="VirtualVincent, post: 10840, member: 1695"] Basically, this is my initial research so opinions from people experienced with Vincents in the flesh (or should that be metal?) is valuable. Thanks By a pair of shocks I meant somethig that looked original but was modern, though I take the point about the Series D. I'd expect a pair of shocks close together to be better than a pair wide apart (i.e. either side of the rear wheel)... maybe not? I also take Bill's point about Norvins. I was thinking of seeing if Dave Degans of Dresda Autos is still building and getting him to do me a frame. If you have a look at his site you can see one he did, basically making a wide than standard frame to allow the engine to sit lower and in a better position. I could then use a lot of Manx Norton parts to finish it off (including conbined oil and Petrol tanks etc.). Who is Steve? Thanks [/QUOTE]
